A saguaro cactus decorated with lights in Arizona
Perhaps the locals in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert area were being eco-conscious when they opted to decorate this saguaro cactus instead of putting up a pine tree. The saguaro can grow more than 70 feet tall and is only found here in the Sonoran Desert, across the border in Sonora, Mexico, and in a small portion of southeastern California. Though the saguaro isn’t endangered, it’s heavily protected by state and federal laws, due to its relatively small natural habitat.
